Description
Split off https://github.com/cxw42/TabFern/issues/35#issue-256106221
Decide whether closing a tab from within a partially-open Chrome window should close the tab in the tree or delete the tab from the tree. Currently it does the latter, but I am inclined to prefer the former (at least as I type this). The former would cause open and partly-open windows to differ in behaviour, which is a concern.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the behavior described in issue #35 and comparing how closing a tab works in open versus partially-open Chrome windows. Decide whether a closed tab should remain in the tree or be deleted, then verify that the chosen behavior is consistent with the intended window-state distinction.
